Mithril

Mithril

Mithril is a fictional metal found in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth writings. It is described as resembling silver, but being stronger and lighter than steel. It was used to make armour, such as the helmets of the citadel guard of Minas Tirith, and ithildin alloy, used to decorate gateways with writing visible only by starlight or moonlight. Always extremely valuable, by the end of the Third Age it was beyond price, and only a few artefacts made of it remained in use.

Mithril (band)

Mithril was a Celtic music / World music quartet located in Mobile, Alabama in the southeastern United States. Active from 2000 to 2015, the group performed arrangements of traditional music from Celtic regions, the Middle East, and other parts of the world. During that time, the ensemble toured throughout the United States, performing at festivals, chamber concert series, with symphony orchestras, and in local pubs. The group released several recordings and was featured on radio programs focused on Celtic music and Folk music.
